we probably don't need to continue normal fetching if sitemap is enabled, ie:
if (this.options.enableSitemap) {
await this.#crawlSitemap(url)
} else {
await this.#fetchPage(url, {})

So, while sitemap.xml fetching is a great thing to have for larger sites or search-optimized sites, a lot of sites don't have it still.
I was viewing the enableSitemap options as "we are enabling sitemap-based crawling if it's available" but also assuming that if someone calls siteFetch() they want the site fetched regardless of whether or not there is a sitemap available. E.g. if someone is batch-fetching a bunch of sites, they probably want the sites fetched and to use sitemap if possible, but don't want the site skipped just because there's not a sitemap.

can it simply be:
sitefetch https://example.com/sitemap.xml

This requires that you know ahead of time if the site you're trying to crawl has a sitemap which requires making an additional request, see above comment. Happy to change it if you feel strongly about it.

we can just check if the input url ends with /sitemap.xml

Oops! I will nuke the package-lock then. I actually use Bun for all of my personal stuff but most projects don't so I'm used to reverting to npm for OSS contributions. |

This PR adds two features:
sitemap.xml. if it is present, all the specified URLs will be added to the crawl queue.
